I think you need to define time more precisely before it is even meaningful to begin to explore whether what you define as time can be made to behave in such a way that you would perceive it as running backwards.

I think time is the constant NOW that is the ever expansion of the universe, one point, i dont think you can go back, as, is there really a past to go back to?

You can judge the future on our actions we remember now, its in out minds not the past, i understand things grow and get old, but it think it's all happening at this one constant point, our memories created the past, and out thoughts create the future.

We already see the experience of time is not a universal thing even outside the subjectivity of human perception.  Each point in the universe sees the behavior of each other point as if time at the other points progresses differently, according the relative speed, influence of gravity, of the two points.
What law of physics directly prevents any event in the universe from being perceived to happen backwards from another point?  Such that from the observer's point, the formation of memory occurs before the event at the point being observed?

If that were to happen, wouldn't that be the same as the observer's point traveling backwards in the time of the observed?
